Where it stands

Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: one piece of evidence for, two against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • The recovered plaintext fits the 97-character length and the four released cribs at their positions.
  • Sanborn, asked directly, confirms the text.

What would rule it out

  • Sanborn or the buyer states that the archive scraps do not give the full plaintext, or the text fails Paradigm's verifier.
